Greta has this look on her face like "Holy crap, I better get my butt back to the shelter. It's getting too weird here!"
What I'm thinking is Lyle went down the list of relatives to pawn Madi off on. Madi's attitude must precede her and they know better than to say yes. Myster Wynter was the last sucker on the list and he was dumb enough to say yes.
If Madi and her bad attitude and loud death metal music doesn't give the old boy a heart attack and kill him, Toby's cooking will.
Seriously, I'm thinking of the 2002 Korean film, "The Way Home." "It tells the heart-warming story about a grandmother and her city-born grandson [i.e. a brat] who comes to live with her in a rural village. The film, which reminds the younger generation of the unconditional love and care that old people selflessly give..."
Then again, perhaps this is NOT the plot of this story arc.
"Uncle Saul, you need to take me to the mall and buy me a training br..."
"AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!!! I-CAN-NOT-HAN-DLE-THIS!!! AAAGGGHHH!!! WE NEVER USED TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS!!!! AAAGGGHHH!!! OH SWEET LORD, JUST TAKE ME NOW!!!! PLEEEEEEASE!!! AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!
I am relieved that this new episode is not Beedie/Weston centric again! I still can't get over the fact that Lyle is traveling to Venezuela for work. Does he work for Citgo or for the Maduro regime? He describes Madi as a teenage toddler. That does not speak too highly for her maturity.
Too bad Saul is a Boomer and too young to have properly Victorian ideas of child discipline. Saul's own grandfather would get Madi to straighten up and fly right quick enough. "Spare the rod and spoil the child!" "Children should be seen and not heard--including their media!" I'd enjoy seeing that. But no, Saul is one of those soft-minded liberals who believes in letting children express their own individuality, so Madi will run right over him the way she did her Boomer grandmother.
Just look at Greta's face. She knows something ridiculous and inappropriate is going down.
Saul better ask Lyle if he's figured out who would be Madi's guardian if he (Lyle) dies, disappears, or ends up in jail due to whatever sketchy thing he's going to Venezuela for. The State Department travel advisory for Venezuela is rather grim.

Saul actually said “SIGH” instead of sighing. [Sigh.]
I can’t wait to hear what Madi says about Saul’s phone. I’m guessing it will not be”sigh.”
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"This Is Why You Have A Tummy Brain".
"No trouble...
One favor!"
Sigh.
Regret!

I'm on pins and needles waiting to find out how this story line ties in with Toby's fear of making a bad dessert...
This is sounding like the plot from that movie...

The animals in this strip are smarter than the people in it. So is the furniture.

Scottie Mc.W - You NAILED it yesterday and again today! I can hardly wait to read tomorrow's installment.
